he lad 'COEDURED" HER.

John HartlOcke owns a small
farm some six miles west OF Jack
sonviIle, Fla. Three months ago
he married a country girl and for
a while all was pleasant. Then
he noticed that his wife avoided
his company and sought seclusion.
Three weeks ago she suddenly dis
apppeared. Tuesday he traced
her to a negro dive in the suburbs
of the city and she was arrested on
his complaint of living with a negro
named Williams. She and the
negro denied the charge. 1t was
noticed that she seemed to watch
the negro, a black, burly fellow,
as if afraid of saying something
that would offend him. He was
held for trial, and she was released
on promise of good behavior. Af-
ter persistent questioning she final
" said that Williams had "conjur
ed, her so that she was unable tC
resist when he told her to leave
her husband. He charmed hel
erst by giving her a sea bean and
il affected her at once. The woman
who is only nineteen years old
seems intelligent and is quite
comely. She says Williams powe
is great and that she would prefe
to be in Jail with him.

A Muscular Baptist Preacher.

RALEIGH, N. G., Dec. ia pri-
vate letter gives the details of an
affair in Buncombe county, where
in Mormon elder was severely
beaten. The Mormon had begun
his proselytine work, and his doc
trlne found favor. A young Bap.
tist preacher named j. NJ. Hillard
heard of this Mormon invasion and
said he would 60 over and out
preach the intruder and driye him
away. He went, and the Mormon
outpreached hiin--utterly vanquish-
ing him in the pulpit combat. The
young man then tried muscular
Christianity, and, falling upon the
Mormon, nearly beat him to death.
The Baptist preacher IS powerful
man, and weighs 200 or more. The
Mormon has fed, and says he will
never return to that section. All
of the Mormons have now been
driven out of the state, but not be-
fore they had made quite a number
converts and aroused much excite.
ment and resentment. Several
have nearly been killed.

EOTHING LIKE IT RECORDED.
From the Norfolk Landmark ]

An accident occurred in this city
a few days ago whose parallel is
not on record in any published
medical works nor has such thing
occurred IN the knowledge of any
of our physicians. A cOlored man
named Henry Williams was en-.
gagged as stevedore in loading a
steamer at one of the wharves.-
His duties we're at the gang way
where he was employed to adjust
the sling with which guano in bags
was being hoisted on board. Bg
his carelessness the hook which
was on the end of the tackle which
was used to catch the sling caught
the end of the forefnger Of his lett
hand and when started completely
tore of the first joint. Williams
was taken to the Office of DR.. VIM.
H. Shepherd, who found it neces-
sary to cut out part Of the bone Of
the finger to bring the flesh TO-.
gether over the end, this was done
successfully and he walked to his
home, although complaining Of
much pain in the hand and arm. A
day or two after this the doctor
was visited by one of Williams
fellow workmen who handed him
the severed joint; and here the
strange part of the accident comes
in, for hanging to the joint was the
tendon which Operates this men,
Der, about a foot in length, it hav-
ing been torn loose from where it
was attached, just below the elbow,
and jerked completely out. The
doctor saw Williams as soon as he
learned the extent of the curious
accident and reopened the wound
tina, the resultant suppuration
might find vent. At last accounts
he was doing quite as we'll as
could be expected. Williams has
the joint and tendon In his posses
sion, and although he was asked to
give it up for the medical museum
at the University of Virginia, re-
fuses to give up the evidence of one
of the most curiou accidents that
has ever occurred.

renee. This has led to the mani
festation of the pifferari, the bag
nine players, who are all from the
Mountains of Calabria. The piifer-
ari divide themselves into three
bands, which march down the
streets, stopping at every shrine
and pouring ont wild music char
acterized rather by loudness than
melody. This is one Of the sights
of Rome at Christmas time. 1t is
the mission of the piferari to go
through the city and pray before
all the shrines to the Virgin to
cheer her spirits while undergoing
the anguish of accOuchement. In
Ger any, Christmas is observed
with peculiar heartiness. There
Santa Claus has an abiding home,
and the Christmas tree, with Its
cheerful light, is found in every
house where money can be raised
to procure it. Like the people Of
England, the Germans place eat
ing and drinking among the fore
most of pleasures at Christmas-tide.
The Russian Observances at
Christmas are peculiar in one i'm
portant respect. They lag behind
the other Christian nations. Their
Christmas eve falls on our 9th of
January, as the Russians never
surrendered the Julian Calendar
The Christmas festivities arc mark
ed with quaint games in which
parts are assigned for youths and
maidens, and strict code of eti-
Quette is observed through them
all.
In the Spanish American cities
of Central American solemn obser-
vations take place in the churches
on Christmas Eve. Among the
customs is the exhibition of minia-
ture figures of wax illustrating the
Nativity and colored according to
nature. This representation is call
ed nacimiento, and every family of
consequence prepares one, which is
set in the best room.-N. Y. Ieic-

STlLlCTE6 HIS TEETH.

A short time since man vas
taken TO one OF tho hospitals sui
fering intense pain. He informed
the doctors that his homo was
down in the country and that ii ne
should die he wished to be sent
there. Tao physician aeSed him
what he eapposed caused the pain.
"Why, swallowed my plate and
four felse teeth while asleep the
other night" was the answer. The
patient was put upon liquid food
end all the examinations made by
the medicOs failed to locate the
sWoIlowad article. T1o mans sui
feringe ver0 lessened considerably,
and AZ . test il was decided to give
him c little piecO Of beefsteak.-
This was GoDo and the poor patient
wns vrithins in agony az soon az
he had swallowed o mouthful. "Oh'
my God y he exclaimed, "thie 10
killing die! - The physicians and
nurs.s could hardly keep him in
bed, he suffered so much. Again
he broke forth in ordinations. -
This tine said "Oh, how suffer
| can feel tho teeth tearing my
stomach apart OH he did not
finish until a nurse opened o tele'
gram from bis wife. 1t read
"Found teeth under bed" The
suffering man, who had swallowed
those teeth, got up and dressed
paid his bill and left the hospital
without a word. This is an illus
tration of what Imagination can
do.

You are feeling depressed, your
appetite is poor, you are bothered

DEFENDING HIS CHURCH.

WASHINGTON, December H.
Tue Rev. DR.. Chappelle preached a
sermon to-day at st. Matthew's
church on Catholics as citizens, the
sermon being inspired by some re-
marks at the recent Evangelical
Alliance. DR.. Chappelle said a
speaker at oOe of the meetings had
declared that he Catholic Church
in this country "bolds allegiance to
a foreign power which claims the
absolute right to control all
consciences and all peoples, and
is thus a dangerous menace to the
republic" and another had said
that the Catholic Church "wss op-
posed to the best efforts and ten
denotes OF modern civilization
He, as a priest of the Catholic
Church. deemed it his bouDden du-
ty to give his testimony and pro-
claim that Catholics, as such, are
from their souls as loyal citizens as
the republic holds within its bor'
ders, aud that the Catholic Church
is the truest and most powerful
friend of what is best in clviliza-
ton. The Church which has ever
taught the laws of justice, mercy
and charity finds nothing in a re-
public but what is conge1ial TO ber
own mode of government and to
her mission TO preach the Gospel to
every creature.
"Catholics," he said, "are now
and will be in the future, as they
have been in the past, loyal to our
Government, staunch in their sup
port of the Constitution, and en-
tbusiastic lovers Of their country.
II or one hand they are opposed to
tyranny and guard with jealous
care the rights Of conscience, on the
other they have been taught from
their infancy respect for Law and
the duty to honor and obey the civil
magistrate. Csthoiicity is the
strongest conservative force OF our
day. Anarchisto do not conc from
ne, nor 90 ve countenance those
who would subvert social order.'
